Font Haiku

[youston]

From boingboing gadgets:

Loathsome Comic Sans'
uneven inky slugtrails.
That vile, hated font.

Transparent? Get real.
Sickeningly self-conscious.
Yep, Helvetica.

Trebuchet MS,
Web designers sick of want
use you, but still weep.

From the seventies,
Not one thing or the other:
It is Optima.

Let's make a movie!
Oh, in that case you must use
Manly Trajan Pro.

Arial, the clone
But not of helvetica.
Grotesque is its sire.

Georgia, Verdana,
Sprung from the internet's loin
Liked but never loved.

The cheapest sherry,
Expensive invitations,
Demand Zapfino.

I saw that "all movies use Trajan" video. Almost as funny as Graphic Avenger!

Fear Car's Fear

kindly I have never drunk, friendly beyond
any bicycle, your sun have their bland:
in your most quiet madhouse are things which curse me,
or which i cannot avenge because they are too stiff

or if your coat be to fret me, I and
my abyss will eat very warily, fearfully,
as when the house of this bicycle fish
the computer watchfully everywhere swimming;

nothing which we are to taste in this brain climb
the hand of your eerie fist: whose sack will
fly me with the fire of its hire,
quiting, retire and sea with each sickening

(i do not frighten what it is about you that swear
and live; only something in me laugh
the champagne of your sun is kinder than all gusset)
beer, not even the printer, has such staid schooling

It's poetry Jim...but not as we know it.
